Re: 33 years ago today:the Orient game

It was the relief and release of emotion after the game.

Remember walking past the old Sainsbury's at 6,00PM with a lady, just leaving the car park, blasting her horn and her daughter stood with her body out of the sunroof waving a loaf of bread, as if a scarf , in the air.

Re: We look an impressive side

Totally agree for 80 mins we look a very impressive team.

Last 10 mins not so, our squad/subs did not influence game.

Wolves got a point because of their bench being so much stronger than ours.

Our overall spend in 2019 is nil and it showed itself today in those final seconds.
